Singer Lisa Marie Presley, the only daughter of the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll, Elvis Presley, tragically died at the age of 54 on Thursday after being rushed to a Los Angeles-area hospital.
Lisa Marie suffered a full cardiac arrest at her home in Calabasas before being rushed to the hospital.
According to LadBible, her mother said she was receiving the “best care”, but she passed away following several hours of treatment.
“It is with a heavy heart that I must share the devastating news that my beautiful daughter Lisa Marie has left us,” said her mother, Priscilla Presley, in a statement.
“She was the most passionate, strong and loving woman I have ever known. We ask for privacy as we try to deal with this profound loss,” added Priscilla.
“Thank you for the love and prayers. At this time there will be no further comment,” concluded the statement.
Lisa Marie Presley attended the 80th Golden Globes awards ceremony in Beverly Hills earlier this week in support of lead actor Austin Butler and the cast and crew of “Elvis”. Butler won the Best Actor Award in a Motion Picture – Drama for portraying Elvis in the film.
During his acceptance speech, Butler paid tribute to Lisa Marie Presley and her mother for their help and support throughout the film’s shooting.
“The Presley family, thank you guys for opening your hearts, your memories, your home to me,” he said. “Lisa Marie and Priscilla, I love you forever.”
“And lastly, Elvis Presley himself. You were an icon and a rebel and I love you so much. You are remembered, and I will never forget.”
Elvis Presley died of cardiac arrest in August 1977 at the age of 42.
